Thunderbird clan For Two Row Times Taking the Indian out of the Indian. Such is the kind of thing that the Children’s Aid Society did to thousands of native children when we were taken away from our birth families. Many were told to be quiet, told they were no good, told that they were worthless.

We got closer as the months went by and I realized he loved me and I loved him too. It was great to have someone in my life that truly cared for me.
